Welcome to

You may have committed a crime but this does not make you a criminal for ever. The point of your time here is not to punish you for the sake of it, what would that achieve? It is to help you to better yourself and give you the confidence that when you leave, you will be able to sustain and look after yourself and others, and play a positive role in society.

Here you will be a member of a self-sufficient ‘family’ and given the responsibility of tending the land, caring for the others you work with, and for yourself. As you cultivate the land, you will cultivate yourself, developing the skills you need to re-enter the wider society aware of and prepared for the valued role you are able to play in your community.

The facility holds 500 inmates in total, with 10 people in each farmhouse. These are sited approximately 500m from each other in a network that follows the flow of a tributary along a desert valley.

Together you will be responsible for growing the food to sustain your cluster of 5 farmhouses, pooling and trading resources. You will then will be driven to the farmhouse in

which you will live permanently with 9 other inmates and 2 guards. They will be your ‘family’ for the duration of your time here.

At the entrance you will be issued with your geo-locating, anti-tamper anklet to be worn at all times to allow us to give you the freedom to work the land.

Glamour is an imaginative process that creates a specific, emotional response: a sharp mixture of projection, longing, admiration, and aspiration. It evokes an audience’s hopes and dreams and makes them seem attainable, all the while maintaining enough distance to sustain the

fantasy.” - Virginia Postrel

DESIRETRANSFORMATION(via consumption)

ENVIOUS GLAMOROUS

PUBLICITY

THE STATE OF BEING ENVIED IS GLAMOUR.IT IS AN ENVY OF APPARENT HAPPINESS ACHIEVED THROUGH A

RICHNESS OF LIFESTYLE AND POSSESSIONS.

THE DESIRE FOR GLAMOUR IS A TRANSFORMATIVE FORCE FOR CHANGE. IT AFFECTS WHAT WE WANT AND BUY, WHAT GOVERNMENTS AND

BUSINESSES USE AND PROVIDE, AND HOW ALL OF US TREAT EACH OTHER AND THE ENVIRONMENTS IN WHICH WE LIVE

GLAMOUR IS A POWERFUL GLOBAL

FORCE

IN MONACO

GLAMOUR = LUXURY

DEMOCRATISATION AND MASS LUXURYWith a globalized consumer society, the internet and the

democratisation of fashion, the desire for glamorous luxury has diffused from the rich to the aspiring middle class masses.

MONACO SHOWCASES THE GLAMOUR OF LUXURY TO THE WORLD

HOWEVER CURRENTLY

LUXURY MAKES A CULTURE OF WASTEFUL CONSUMPTION

GLAMOROUS

Fast Cars, Yachts and Helicopters burn huge quantities of non-renewable fuel.

The low cost and high volume business model of mass luxury and consumerism creates a culture where a cycle of acquiring and disposing

of goods is encouraged. The goods themselves are the product of limited resources, wasteful and exploitative process of production and transportation in order to

provide them.

A systemic shift from materialistic to the experiencial luxury is needed

PROVIDES SOLUTIONS:

1. URBAN SOLUTIONMakes the city walkable and enjoyable for locals and

tourists.Connects disperate areas.

2. SOCIAL SOLUTIONProvides informal park space, promenade and facilities

for socialising and recreation for both Monaco and Beausoleil.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONSustainable infrastucture reduces environmental impact.

Reduces the need for cars.Makes visable the positive impact and so changes

behaviour.

4. BRANDING SOLUTION By using a strong urban intervention a powerful positive

image of the luxury industry and Monaco is created.This can be marketed to benifit tourism, and the wider

economy.

5. GLOBAL SOLUTIONBy directly involving the luxury industry in the creation of

the runway they themselves become more responcible and less wasteful.

As well as showing how improvements can be achieved elsewhere, by making sustainabilty luxurious and

therfore glamourous and desirable, it provides the catalyst for global cultural change.

Shifting the focus of luxury from the materialistic to the experiencial reduces the desirability of wasteful and

unethical consumerism.

LUXURY SUSTAINABLITY

MONACO HAS THE POWER TO MAKE THE LUXURY INDUSTRY SUSTAINABLE BY ADDRESSING ITS ATTITUDES TO WASTE IN AN URBAN

AND SOCIAL CONTEXT

IF IN DOING SO SUSTAINABILITY CAN BE MADE LUXURIOUS AND THEREFORE GLAMOROUS AND DESIRABLE, THEN MONACO CAN HAVE A

TRANSFORMATIVE AFFECT ON THE WORLD.

THERMAL MASS GARDEN WALLSIn order to create the growing conditions needed for a large variety

of plant species to be grown year round a system of walls contain botanical gardens.These walls are massive dark concrete retaining walls to absorb and store thermal

energy to release at night. They contain pipes that allow water to flow through them.

NORTH - SOUTH WALL ORIENTATION

By orientating the walls North - South over the largest possible area this achieves the best growing conditions. This is because both sides of the walls see an equal amount

of direct sunlight allowing maximum growth on each.

PROFESSIONAL - DUS ARCHITECTSLARGE SCALE 3D PRINTING

In 2013 Amsterdam based DUS Architects began a practical research project to test the potential of 3D printing at an architectural scale. I was invited to join their small team as a 3D printing technician, testing new materials and processes while developing a new design language with a new technology, pushing the boundaries of architectural innovation.

While pursuing the goal of 3D printing the first full building using the 6m high ‘Kamermaker’ printer I also jointed a team of 4 to design an interactive installation.

Over the course of 3 months and in collaboration with game design studio Monobanda we developed from concept to completion an immersive experience which challenges the users relationship with their environment and each other in the digital age.‘3RD’ has since continued to be a great success touring worldwide including featuring in the 2013 Shenzhien Biennale and winning an ‘Excellence’ award at the 18th Japan Media Arts Festival 2015.


Find a nice large piece of cardboard.

Go to the copyshop and enlarge this image 10x. Use the enlarged map as a template.

Lay the paper template on top of the cardboard and cut out the shape. then gently score the folding lines.

Fold into shape. Then glue the mask together with help of the tabs.

Cut out the headbands and shape them around your head until you have a perfect fit. Glue into a headcover.

Balance the mask on your head. Mark the spot where it is in balance. Then glue the headcover to that spot inside the mask.

Cut out the two phone-holder parts and glue the pieces together. Put two rubber bands around the phone holder. Then trim and put into place at approx. 18 cm. away from your face inside the mask. Glue it with help of the tabs.

Place your phone into the phone holder.

Screw bolts onto the counterweight until it balances out the weight of the phone.

Put on the mask.

INSTALLATION - BAMBOO BEACONBLUE LAGOON FESTIVAL 2015

A playful pavilion that created a centre of activity for festival goers of all ages, the Bamboo Beacon became a fun focal point.It was space to chill out in and play around that lit up at night and even became an 8 person impromptu club! Made of locally sourced bamboo and shimmering ribbons, it’s sculptural form was animated by the wind.

Designed and built in collaboration with Connor Waters.
